Top Chef's Lisa Fernandes hates food bloggers
As the Top Chef finale rockets to our eyeballs like a white-hot ice-pick this Wednesday, we take a break from wondering why Dale Talde was ever booted and get back to our hate ofseason four villain Lisa Fernandes. While finally sporting a haircut we feel comfortable with her wearing for food preparation, she nonetheless opened up her double-chinned trap and bagged on the bloggers who have plenty of Lisa hate this season -- that would be all of them.
I don't read the blogs -- you couldn't pay me to read the blogs," she told the New York Daily News. "I don't want to know what people who can't even afford to eat in my restaurant, let alone know how to cook have to say about me, and the few comments I did read on Eater.com a few weeks back because my job asked me to read 'em. The best they could come up with was that I was ugly."
Don't forget sloppy. Or lazy. Or attitudinally challenged. No matter what, it's interesting to know that she is ultimately dismissive of foodies, the only people that give two shakes about where she works and what she cooks. Now we don't care whether Richard Blais or Stephanie Izard win, as long as Lisa doesn't.
